Green People's OY! Deodorant is specifically formulated for teenagers and works to keep the skin fresh without pore-clogging aluminium or drying alcohol. This highly effective teenage deodorant has a strong and antibacterial action to powerfully fight odours and is naturally scented with Orange and Vanilla, making it a great unisex deodorant option.

Green People 3 Way Antibacterial Action

Green People natural deodorant for teenagers has not 1, but 3 different bacteria busting ingredients to keep underarms fresh.

1. Prebiotics support the skin's healthy bacterial flora and restrict the 'bad' odour forming bacteria to keep smells at bay.

2. Zinc ricinoleate acts like a sponge to absorb and trap odours, preventing then from becoming air-born.

3. Potassium Alum is a volcanic mineral salt that has a powerful antibacterial action whilst being gentle on sensitive skin.

Charlotte Vøhtz’s drive to create truly organic skin care began when her young daughter Sandra was battling multiple skin allergies and eczema. She searched the high street for natural products that would be gentle on Sandra’s sensitive skin but found that many so-called natural skin care brands used almost entirely synthetic ingredients. In fact you only need to have less than 1% natural or organic ingredients in the formulation to call it ‘natural’.

Charlotte says, “From that moment, I realised that we all are children of the chemical age and that man-made chemicals found everywhere, combined with changing dietary habits, profoundly affect us all”.

1995 - TAILORED SKIN CREAMS FOR HER DAUGHTER

The lack of gentle, natural products on the market spurred Charlotte on to create her own organic creams and salves, carefully tailored to her daughter’s allergy-prone skin.

Charlotte says, “There are many motivations behind an entrepreneurial spirit – to be your own boss, make money or start something new. For me the motivation came from wanting to help treat the skin problems that Sandra was suffering with. As any parent of a child with severe skin problems will know, it can be a long and frustrating battle to find treatments that work."

1997 - GREEN PEOPLE IS BORN

After years of product research and development, Green People was founded in 1997. From the very beginning Charlotte’s principles meant that product performance and ethical practice were never sacrificed for profit. A close working relationship was built with product manufacturers in Europe to create the initial product range; a relationship which still exists to this day.

With a promise to never use aggressive ingredients or synthetic chemicals such as sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, alcohol (ethanol) or synthetic fragrances or colourants, and to never test on animals, Green People was born.

1999 - SETTING THE STANDARDS

After seeing the misleading claims made by other beauty brands, Charlotte was determined to introduce regulation in an industry where you only need 1% of natural ingredients to call your products ‘natural’. She approached the Soil Association, the leading UK organisation for organic certification, to encourage them to form standards for organic health and beauty products.

In 1999 Charlotte was invited to be on a Soil Association committee to design the first standards for organic beauty. Charlotte, and later Green People’s Cosmetic Scientist Ian Taylor, played a huge role in setting natural and organic cosmetic regulations.
